The fact that the US does not have the concept of transit and makes you go through border control even when you are just on your way to somewhere else is the most clear indication that it thinks it’s the centre of the world.

We’re going to have to increase prison capacity.

Life hack… When the queues for passport control at the DEF gates at Schiphol are really long follow the signs for ABC gates and then go through passport control between Schengen and non-Schengen where it’s really quiet.

Just catching up with the days news and… Fuck you Keir Starmer, I stand with Palestine Action. Proscribe that you sad flesh sack.

But you know, tell me again why companies like Google need to be involved in the humanitarian space because efficiency trumps (pun absolutely intended) ethics.

Even though it involves an LAX transfer (meaning a mass detox of all devices including the physical removal of my laptop stickers because the US is silly and doesn’t have the concept of ‘transit’) I am now getting excited about my 41 hour trip to the fatherland and the oldest university in Aotearoa.

When you don’t think it can get any worse… it gets worse.

How am I more busy in my non-teaching semester than in my teaching intensive semester and why does that busy not include doing any research?

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

Don’t threaten us with a good time!

Israel told the UN to stay away from those areas for 9 hours while it kills all plant life. This is a war crime, and Israel is so comfortable committing war crimes that they announce them in advance.

Israel spraying pesticide (that are banned in the EU) over south Lebanon as part of its ongoing campaign of ecocide. The goal is simple: to make sure that life itself is rendered impossible. This remains rarely reported in the news despite them doing so for years. www.instagram.com/reel/DUV2aoB...

That dog has seen things

waymo executives admit what we all knew to begin with, that their self driving AI is really just remote operators in the philippines.

Ah, the Brexit dividend

New fuck/marry/kill list just dropped

What? No Alexis Wilkins? Kash Patel will be annoyed.

Martha Stewart went to prison for a lot lot less than whatever this is from Mandelson

Give a man an alarm clock and he’ll wake up in the morning for free. Teach his AI to alarm clock and he can pay five cents a minute to ask “Is it time to get up yet?” over and over forver.

Heated Rivalry

Behold Koch money in action and its sinister effects…

That Miller is Jewish of European descent makes what he is saying here even worse, just ignoring hundreds of years of European antisemitism, and no doubt the reason his family ended up in the US, to pursue the leopard of white supremacism that will one day eat his face.

Everybody who perpetrated this while covering it up should be in the Hague www.reuters.com/world/early-...

This stupid argument from Reeves is inversely an argument for why corporations should pay more tax as they benefit from the university educations of their employees.

A constitution is just a collection of words unless human agency turns those words into actions.

Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza. This is textbook censorship of the highest degree

Ummm that's not the University of Pretoria lovelies, that's UNISA in Pretoria. Wrong uni babes.

There is money for "education" if and only if that money is being directly funneled to corporations. Anything involving actual learning, however, well there's no magic money tree
